384 CATALOGUE OF VASES.
MISCELLANEOUS FRAGMENTS. E812.
E 812;. Part of a stand (?). Length 2| in. by 1 in. Naucratis, 1888. This fragment is of very
unusual technique. The design (in the style of Brygos) is drawn in fine black outline on red
ground. The tail of the Seilenos only is in black silhouette ; anciently mended with rivets.
A Seilenos (of whom only the r. elbow and part of the tail are preserved) moves to r.,
carrying in his arms a Maenad, who is dressed in a chiton decorated with dots and minute
trefoils, and has a panther-skin knotted around her neck ; in her r. hand she carries a thyrsos
pointing downwards to r. ; her body is en face, and her head was probably turned to 1.
E 812_. FRAGMENT from near the lip of a large vase. Ht. 2 in. by 2\ in. Cameiros, 1864.
Later stage of fine style. Above the design, the edge of the border around the lip is shown.
Part of a Combat with Persians. The face and r. arm of a Persian is the only part
preserved ; he wears a kidaris and anaxyrides decorated with the usual stripes of alternate
zigzag and dot ; he seems to be fleeing to r., and turns to defend himself from his pursuer with
scimitar (of which the handle is preserved) brandished over his head. On his upper lip are
traces of a moustache. Above him is incised his name, APTOBA . . . ., 'Apro/3a[£<ij/(?r.
[Artobazanes is mentioned in Herodotus vii, 2, as the son of Darius by his first wife.]
E 812;;. FRAGMENT. Ht. l\ in. ; width, 3 in. 1889. Probably from the neck of a crater with
volute handles. Injured by fire. Drawing of best period, but somewhat careless. Brown
wash used for pinion and inner markings of Sphinx.
CEdipus(?) and the Sphinx. On the 1. the Sphinx is seated (head wanting) ; on the r., a
man in an himation, resting his r. on a staff, is seated confronting the Sphinx on a square base ;
his head and most of his body are wanting.
E 812,. FRAGMENT of a cover (?). Ht. 4! in. by 3 in. Naucratis, 1886. Late style. A reddish
white is used for the rocks. On the rim is a pattern of alternate lotus and palmette.
Heracles and Triton (?). The legs of a figure standing in a bent position to r., as if
struggling ; the lion's paws and tail hanging from the back show that it is Heracles. On the 1.
appears to be a pile of rocks (?).
E 812,. FRAGMENT of a cover (?). Length 2 in. by 11 in. Naucratis, 1888. Fine style. The
design has run in a circle around the outside, over a thin red line. Only the feet of a figure
moving to r., and part of two other objects, are preserved.
